USSEC Announces Site, Date of Next U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange

USSEC’s fifth annual U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange will be held in Omaha, Nebraska on August 15, 16, and 17, 2017. The U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange will be held in conjunction with the 14th annual Midwest Specialty Grain Conference and Trade Show and the 6th annual Trade Team Invitational at the CenturyLink Center and the Hilton Omaha. USSEC and the Midwest Shippers Association (MSA) are once again teaming up to host their signature event known for its value as well as its exclusive access to qualified international buyers

“As a Nebraska farmer, I am delighted to welcome the U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange to my home state,” stated USSEC Chairman Jim Miller. “The GTE is an important networking event for U.S. industry and exporters and provides a fantastic opportunity for the buyers of U.S. Soy to view U.S. agriculture and meet with our farmers face to face.”

The state of Nebraska ranks fifth in production of U.S. Soy. In 2016, Nebraska soybean farmers harvested 305.7 million bushels on 5.3 million acres, worth $2.6 billion.

The U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange is USSEC’s biggest event of the year, bringing together international trade teams and U.S. Soy industry representatives for key discussions and personal networking. Last year, carefully selected delegates from more than 55 countries participated in this unique opportunity. In 2017, USSEC is expecting a large international presence of qualified buyers from both the feed and food sectors.
